Street art is sort of hard to find in Auckland, I looked in some of the obvious places first and visited a couple of spots where there used to be some – all to no avail. My mum told me about some at the Corbans Estate Art Centre near where she lives in Henderson and then I used Google to find some more. It would be great to see more in the inner city.
There was a street art festival on in Auckland’s K’ Rd last weekend and I managed to get along to that as well and will show those images in another blog.
It is good to see there is a scene here and even though it is small there is some great talent.
Corbans Centre, stupidly I did not record the artists names!
I really like the Maori influence in some of the work, keeping it uniquely New Zealand.
Though I recognised this artists style – Wert 159
Ponsonby
There is massive hole where a failed tower was supposed to be built in Ponsonby, the hoardings have been painted and there was some really good pieces. I didn’t get to see it all as it hammered down with rain while I was there.
Jonny 4higher – I think!
Wert 159
Component.
I spotted this wall on the way!
It was great to see some art and not just the usual tagging that plagues the streets of Auckland.
Where is Phil now? 
Wert seems amazing. Thanks for introducing him to me.
I think he is Russian too !
